The challenges of Speech problems

Well I meant to write this a while ago but alas I have been rather busy. My 5th child had ear infections for almost a year straight he was constantly sick. Now I know I have 5 children and possibly should have figured out that I needed to insist they do something more for him but as none of my other children had ear infections I found myself very ill prepared. Well after the year he got tubes put in but alas his speech has been drastically affected and he gets frustrated fast because we cannot understand what he wants.
What I learned from this is never let doctors put you off if your kid has ear infections regularly get an expert involved like an ear, nose and throat doctor. By regularly I mean you give them an antibiotic they finish it and a week later have another ear infection or your child has 4 or more in 7 months or so. Signs of an ear infection can be found here http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/ear-infection/ear-infections-symptoms remember your child may not have all the symptoms or may not tug at ear some kids just seem to always be sick so just use your best judgement. After all hearing and speech are very important to a child so they can communicate with you and others.
We got a local program to help its like an early intervention program they come out to the house and work with you and your child to pick up sounds first then other skills. They help you learn how to step by step guide your child to where they need to be. Ours is Kids on the move and can be found here http://www.kotm.org/ it is better not to wait till they are in school to get them the help they need to be where they already should have been if they could hear. If you are unable to find a program your pediatric doctor should know who to put you in touch with.

Daily Deal Sites

So I discovered daily deal sites and giveaways. I mostly shop for diapers but you never know what creative interesting thing you are going to find. I bought some cloth diapers this way and saved me some money thank goodness. Money is so tight right now and just bound to get tighter. I also have been reading so many sites on the pros and cons of disposable diapers. One really worried me about Dioxin that they put in disposables that has been outlawed in other countries. I will have to find it and link it. If you use cloth diapers rockin green laundry soap is great to make them look new and it also works well on your whites to help them not look gray.
